You versus the guy she tells you not to worry about

I'm glad you enjoyed my thoughts 🙏

When everything becomes transactional, communities collapse. People move for work. Time gets scarce. The social fabric frays. You can’t print belonging. Loneliness is the quiet scream of a culture that replaced presence with productivity. The result? A society of individuals, isolated in their pursuits, surrounded by others but deeply alone. Yet even if we were to fix the money - anchor it in truth, make it incorruptible, fair - would it rebuild the community that crumbled under centuries of transactional living? Would it teach us how to sit with each other again, to listen, to give without expectation? Fixing money might slow the erosion. But healing loneliness requires more than economics. It asks for courage. Because in the end a rich life is not built in vaults but in hearts held open. With love for you all, Francis 💜
